Forum and Businesses

[catfish]

Talkparrotlets.com is NOT a customer service forum/website/blog.

If you have a problem with a business, please communicate all issues you have to that business's email or customer service line. We as a forum cannot help you with any transactions that take place.

There are a number of review sites and organizations that you can report your issues to. This forum is not meant for business reviews and we are not going to interfere with a person's lively hood.

I understand that most people want to protect others from a business that could harm someone or a bird; however, we do not allow these businesses to post here, so reviews are moot, especially since we are spread throughout the world. Most people will most likely find a breeder close to home anyways.

This forum is really meant to be light and fun, but informative.

At this time, we ask all members to refrain from discussing their experiences with any breeder, whether it be POSITIVE or NEGATIVE experiences.

Certain breeders have thrown a series of temper tantrums that have resulted in members being harrassed in the forums and through PMs. This is causing an unbelievable amount of strain on moderators because there is only so much we can do.

Until DAVE decides what the forum will do, I will be removing any future threads/posts that discusses any breeders, whether the business is named or not.

We are NOT a customer service forum. We are not in the business of interfering with a person's livelihood. We are here to discuss our pets and get advise.

Your best bet to find a breeder is to use google. Make sure you talk with the breeder and use some common sense.

(I live in OK and found 3 breeders w/in driving distance through google... i'm sure that if OK has breeders, almost all states will have them.)

In order to enforce this rule (for now), each time a member requires me to delete their post b/c they are not following rules, they will receive 1 infraction. After 3 infractions, you will be temporarily banned for 1 week.
If you receive 3 temporary bans, you will permanently banned from the site.

TL,DR:

discussions of breeders (named or not) will result in the following:

1 infraction per deletion
after 3 infractions, 1 week ban.
after 3 1 week bans, permanent ban.
